Black Widow set the stage for Yelena Belova to become the Marvel Cinematic Universe's new primary Widow, though it looks like she's going to take aim at Clint Barton in Hawkeye before becoming a full-blown hero!
During a live Q&A last night, Marvel Studios President answered a number of questions from fans, confirming that we are going to find out whether Florence Pugh's Yelena was among those Blipped by Thanos when the Mad Titan attacked Earth. He wouldn't reveal any more than that (which isn't a surprise), but it will be interesting to find out what exactly happened to Natasha Romanoff's "sister."
Feige also teased the possibility of David Harbour's Red Guardian crossing paths with the MCU's new Captain America, Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson. "I'd like to see that...how about you guys?" he asked. Later, the Marvel Studios boss pointed out that Cap was frozen in ice when Alexei claims to have battled Steve Rogers, but we can't help but read a little more into his comments.
If the Soviets had their own super soldier, it's not outside the realm of possibility that a new Captain America was secretly sent into action in the decades that followed Steve's disappearance (just like when his comic book counterpart was on ice). If that's the case, Red Guardian may have battled, and defeated, a poor imitation of the real deal during the height of his career.
